altE’s John Laflamme, who builds the prewired solar power systems

Boxborough, MA – altE, a New England supplier of solar panels and solar power equipment, is powering ahead to provide alternative energy assistance in Puerto Rico and other areas hit hardest by hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Jose.

altE is donating an off-grid solar-power system — 3,300-watt solar-panel array, hybrid solar inverter, and batteries, with a retail value of $15,000 — to Family Medical Clinic de Cedros in Puerto Rico, which is currently without electricity and clean water.

The system will power the most critical functions of this medical clinic, which is located near San Juan. altE is working with an installer, the nonprofit SonLight Power of Fairfield, Ohio.

altE also has been working with other organizations, offering free design and expertise with heavily discounted equipment. altE has contacted many of the major solar equipment manufacturers on obtaining discounted equipment from them to help with relief efforts.
